    If someone would ask a straightforward question, I would be happy to deliver a straightforward answer. 

     

    Right?

     

    As I did above all I want to know is since the tweeters are 8 ohm, mids 16 and the woofer 4 ohm, is there any issue with the crossover as I've built it?

     

    And maybe some idea on why these all are different if this is by design on various KHorn models.

    Looking good.

     

    Just use some silicone adhesive to hold the coil down. 

     

    That's going to sound very good (you'll hear what I tell you to hear :)

    Shall do on the silicone.  Now to find one more of those.

    I'm looking forward to it for sure.  Unfortunately I didn't have a before listen.

    While it's true the new tweeter is more robust and can easily handle being run first order, many of us who have spent a lot time going back forth, eventually decide that less overlap between the midrange and tweeter sounds better. 

    I'm on it!  Ordered the 2 additional Arizona's last night.  Just need the inductors.  I know I have one of the original klipsch AA coils.....

     

    Hey Deang, I was going to order some of the bus wire from Jameco but I really dont need that much and it would be cool to avoid the wait and shipping cost.  Off the top of your head what would be an easy otherwise option for the small amount i need.?

    The blend of squawker to tweeter is better with a Type AA.  The tweeter carries less midrange with a Type AA so there should be less measurable distortion. 

     

    Okay, so I can go ahead and add a 2nd 2.2 Arizona and the coil back in easily enough. I am assuming that is all I need to do. ? Just gotta source em.

     

    I actually pulled some recapped AA crossovers from LaScalas to do my initial test on the K horns.

    Thanks John, I meant to come back in and clarify and forgot.

     

    Imaging is better too.

     

    In all my reading of related searches on this I thought I had mostly seen it recommended that once the tweeter was upgraded to the Crites tweeter, the belief was the A version would be all that was needed.  I guess that was only based on the protection circuit aspect of the AA.

    Woow, this looks great! May I ask how you did the cut-outs? I'm currently planning on building a set myself. Have redrawn the entire k-horn plans in CAD to EU plywood standards (12mm and 16mm). I'm now contemplating on either letting a CNC router do all the work (I have all the individual pieces drawn out into CAD  already, so should be easy to convert to a milling job) or let a professional sawing service do the job (I know they will deliver, but it's much more expensive). Any thoughts?

     

    OP, if you need help understanding the plans; send me a PM. I also have some plans/builds saved myself.

     

    CNC.  Got the Crites tweeter cut-out dimensions from Crites.  The face of the horn and tweeter baffle was veneered since it will be covered.

    Ok a couple of answers.  The cabinet size is the exact same size as a standard Hersey.  The motorboard is also exactly the same layout as all other Hersey II's of the same era (minus the ports of course) and the same as the newly released Hersey III's as well.  I should be able to take the measurements on the tubes that you want and check the crossover but cannot promise when that will happen.  Maybe this weekend.

     

    Laters,

    Jeff

    Nah, don't worry about it.   The only thing I feel I need to do with these would be to recap and then make sure these ports are not totally screwing them up.  I will simply so the recap and then see how they sound.

    It looks a lot bigger due to the front mounting of all the drivers/horns.

     

    Yeah, I realized that after posting that.  Makes it easier to remove and replace the pieces I guess as needed.

    Reading that this is more of a KP-250 solution rather than an HIP.

    I can't comment on the length but the placement looks like they are in the same place as my HIP-2 (Heresy 2 Industrial Ported) model.  This is the best center channel speaker I have heard.

    Interesting.  Can you do me a favor and measure the diameter of those ports and length of the tubes?  Also, is that cabinet the same dimension as a non-industrial heresy?  Do you know if it still uses a Type E-2 crossover?  It appears the horns and woofer are much closer configured and thus the motor board is lot smaller.....or that woofer is larger.

  9. I am working on a set of Heresy's for a friend with a recap to start with, but it appears someone changed out the baffle at some point and added a couple round ports that flank the tweeter up top.  Any thoughts on what the net is on this move?
